The Grieving Mother

[* 𝑲𝒂𝒕 @devotedingrief]

I Needed You Here. On The Ground.

[* 𝑲𝒂𝒕 @devotedingrief]

Your Grace! Forgive me, I was thinking aloud-

[ᑫᵘᵉᵉⁿ 𝐑𝐇𝐀𝐄𝐍𝐘𝐑𝐀 𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐆𝐀𝐑𝐘𝐄𝐍 @Z0BRIEDARIA]

I know that feeling all too well.

[* 𝑲𝒂𝒕 @devotedingrief]

Kill him. Do it.

Daeron this and Daeron that.

@TrueDragonHeir I . . . I know you are. You are a mother. People forget that. Mothers do everything they can, not just for their children, but everyone they love.

@ONDRAGONWlNGS And . . . She accepts the apology.

[* 𝑲𝒂𝒕 @devotedingrief]

I hate my husband.

And yet I miss him.

[* 𝑲𝒂𝒕 @devotedingrief]

@TrueDragonHeir . . . Hugh would not fight for you if you were cruel and I do not wish to see any Hightower men spared. But boys have been stolen from their homes, Your Grace.

[* 𝑲𝒂𝒕 @devotedingrief]

@TrueDragonHeir None of us desire dragonfire. But that does not give men the rights to harm women, children, men, simply because they fight for their king or queen. People are desperate. Theft is on the rise. Children are dying from- . . . From sickness, because no one can afford a Maester.

[* 𝑲𝒂𝒕 @devotedingrief]

@TrueDragonHeir Perhaps.

It will still not do much, Your Grace. The people are tired. Many are dead. Hightower men and men from your armies alike take advantage of small towns, of people with nothing to give.

[* 𝑲𝒂𝒕 @devotedingrief]

No one cares about Daemon Targaryen.

Unless he gets rid of Ormund Hightower.

Then I might thank him. Might.

[* 𝑲𝒂𝒕 @devotedingrief]

Has he (and everyone) forgotten that the people are starving?

[. 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑹𝑶𝑮𝑼𝑬 𝑷𝑹𝑰𝑵𝑪𝑬 @ONDRAGONWlNGS]

end of the month so it's time i bring this deal back to raise money for rhaenyra.

[* 𝑲𝒂𝒕 @devotedingrief]

I personally agree they should arrest that boy parading as a Prince, since he has no qualms with having his men destroy families.

( hmph )

[* 𝑲𝒂𝒕 @devotedingrief]

+ look over him, before it went to the ruins behind them.

“You . . . You have duties now. To your Queen. They will call you a deserter if you stay here.”

And perhaps they wouldn’t kill him, as they had killed Leo, but his life would be forfeit in other ways.

The fear in her eyes that day, fear that had come from days on the road alone, from what she had been through to get to Tumbleton. And in that moment, she had feared her husband. She hadn’t recognised him then.

His words left her quiet for a moment, gaze hesitantly lifting to +

[𝐒er 𝐇ugh. @vermithorider]

his gaze falls towards the floor, towards the space that exists between them. even though words are spoken, there's so much that isn't.

so much that still haunts him from the days prior when he'd tried to get her to leave with him ... when he'd laid his hands upon her. when ›

I am glad to hear it, Your Grace

[𖤝 ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍𝒍ady‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍of‍‍ ‍ ‍ g͟r͟i͟e͟f͟ @bugxprincess]

fairly well myself.

[* 𝑲𝒂𝒕 @devotedingrief]

I am well. And you, Your Grace?

how do you fare?

[* 𝑲𝒂𝒕 @devotedingrief]

@DREAMFYRERlDER Kat noticed the movement, the presence of a Targaryen entering the sept, though she did her best to ignore it.

She was just here to pray. That was all.

[* 𝑲𝒂𝒕 @devotedingrief]

Knelt before the Stranger for prayer, three candles burning before her.
